For a view of how LINE would handle something noisy, find someone
with a good subwoofer, throw in either Richard's new one "Of Surfaces"
or his Trente Oiseaux masterwork on, and turn it WAY THE HELL UP.

Come to think of it, the second of the Bernhard Günter discs on his LINE
release would probably do some serious skull-drilling at high amplitude,
too.

I personally think there's plenty of "noisy" stuff in microsound elsewhere
and thus I'm not in a big hurry for Richard to work that room. I would
second the recommendation for "After." The live set is really intriguing,
and it's recontextualizatons are lovely while being in the range of the
expectable/familiar.

You could always approach Richard about the possibility of doing
an industrial-strength remix of Decisive Forms (which anagrams
nicely to "Devices So Firm", by the way). In a moment of software
testing frenzy, I created my own official Richard Chartier "deafening
techno mix" of DF materials, which never fails to fill the dancefloor
whenever I'm gigging. At least I *think* they're dancing.
